Ooohhh, sounds like unilateralism to me!
The Russians have apparently found their spine, or at least their tough talk. They claimed the right today to PREEMPTIVELY take out terrorist bases anywhere they may be found..
Col.-Gen. Yuri Baluyevsky, chief of the Russian General Staff, reasserted Russia's right to strike terrorists anywhere in the world.
"As for carrying out preventive strikes against terrorist bases, we will take all measures to liquidate terrorist bases in any region of the world," Baluyevsky told reporters.
What's this, no mention of getting UN approval? Can condemnation from John Kerry be far away? After all, he considers having dozens of industrialized democracies joining the liberation of Iraq to be unilateral, what will he make of this? Sounds a lot like President Bush's much maligned position, that we reserve the right to hit terrorists before they hit us and not get a "by your leave" from the U.N. first. Make there is hope for Russia after all....
